Data Flows
xAssets IT Asset Management sits at the center of your IT operations as a centralized data repository (CMDB) of
Asset and Service information. Every group in IT has access to the system via a web browser to get up-to-date
asset information. xAssets will typically collect information or federate information
from some or all of the following to provide a complete and up-to-date IT asset repository:
Some implementations only integrate to a few of the sources shown, and none of the data feeds are mandatory.
Integration with xAssets is easy to configure even when non-standard requirements or new integrations are required,
so even when many integrations are possible, the implementation project might still only be a few days to complete.
Configuration
xAssets IT Asset Management is based on the xAssets Enterprise Framework, which is the most configurable
and scalable Asset Management Software available. Menu items, queries, profiles, integrations,
data movements, triggers, business rules, reports, forms and processes can be
configured from within the user interface. This flexibility makes the
software ideal for large enterprises with complex requirements, whilst also providing the flexibility for
SMEs to adjust the system to meet their exact requirements.
